Are you going to try to kill it?
“No, not on sacred ground.”
I thought I was thinking to myself. Dax focused on me, and not the escaped bunny hopping past his kennel.
“Did you just speak?!”
Dax barked at my unintentional command, saying nothing. I was concerned for the rabbit’s safety, but it disregarded the dog.
“Dax, if you can talk, say something.”
Dax stared at me with his usual, empty expression: no words.
I shook off the weirdness of the situation. Walking towards home, I greeted the barn cat with pets.
“Dogs can’t talk,” the same voice said.

The Silence That Follows
“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything . . . It is the presence of time, undisturbed. It can be felt within the chest. Silence nurtures our nature, our human nature, and lets us know who we are. Left with a more receptive mind and a more attuned ear, we become better listeners not only to nature but to each other. Silence can be carried like embers from a fire. Silence can be found, and silence can find you. Silence can be lost and also recovered. But silence cannot be imagined, although most people think so. To experience the soul-swelling wonder of silence, you must hear it.”― Gordon Hempton

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.
